Mexican Emperor Fallout and a Long Mexican War
The article recounts the 1860s French backed attempt to install Maximilian as Mexican emperor, the ensuing guerrilla resistance led by Juarez and Diaz, the U S shift to intervene, and the ultimate collapse with Maximilian's execution. It frames Napoleon III as the strategist, Diaz as a key defender, and notes Juarez’s republic restoration and Diaz’s long presidency.
